Correlation between plasma levels of LDL-C and Lp(a) in controls and patients with hypercholesterolemia. The relationship between LDL-C and Lp(a) in control (pink, n = 272) and hypercholesterolemia (blue, n = 256) cohorts was examined. A linear trendline, associated Pearson correlation coefficient and P value for the control (r = 0.079; P = 0.193) and FH cohorts (r = 0.036; P = 0.567) are displayed here. The observed trend indicates that there is no correlation between the plasma levels of the 2 lipoproteins in either cohort. FH, familial hypercholesterolemia; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; Lp(a), Lipoprotein(a).
